You sluggishly walked to school that one fine-boring morning. Days like this you wished you didn't have to go to school. Really you can study at home anyway and learn more if you were just serious about it. Which you were not. You let out a yawn, closing your eyes and wiping the moisture that gathered.

It's too early for school you grumbled.

You stayed up all night watching anime and now you kind of regretted not listening to that tiny voice telling you to stop and go to sleep. But hey! In your defense you're in the middle of a really good episode then. You promised that that was your last episode for the night but the twist in the story is finally revealing that you couldn't help but sneak a peek at the next episode which lead to one after another until you noticed that it was already past 2 in the morning. And you had to get up at 6am to prepare. Fuck life.

"Kyaaaahhhhh! Please accept my chocolate!"

"I was here first!"

"Get moving you're blocking my way to Gokudera-sama!"

Huh? What was that?

In the midst of the crowding girls you saw a silver head poking and you can't help the bubble of laughter that came out of your lips when you saw Gokudera being squished by his fangirls. You even saw one of them grope him in the ass and you snicker passing by him.

"Oi Name!" A wide grin spread across your lips as your back still face him. So he did noticed you huh? Well this is fun. You already knew what he was going to say but nevertheless you play dumb.

"Yes?" You asked finally turning around. The Italian bomber bit his lip, swallowing down his pride before looking at you determinedly and you noticed pink dusting on his cheeks.

'Help me' He mouthed to you and you act as if you didn't understand him.

'What?' You mouthed back. You two can't hear each other anyway between the cheering fangirls. And he don't want them to hear him asking for help. That'll just ruin the plan if you ever will help him.

'I said. Help. Me.' He tried to slowly pronounce the words, hoping you'll understand but still you shook your head. Inside you were dying of laughter and you were glad it currently doesn't show on your face.

But not for long if he continue being funny, you thought with a snort inside your head.

Gokudera was losing his patience. Why is the stupid girl so, so infuriating!? Is she that dumb to not understand what he's trying to say? He saw you look at your watch and as if sensing what you'll say, paled. You won't leave him alone there right? With the creepy girls surrounding him.

'I'm late' you said before running away, not bothering to check on him. When you rounded the corner, you stopped and release out the laughter begging to be let out.

"Oh my! Hahahaha! Poor Gokudera" You shook your head and proceeded to walk to school, your day now brighter after what happened.

"Meh, who cares? He's all 'jyuudaime this' 'jyuudaime that' so annoying." You talked to yourself out loud then you stopped, "Though I wonder what's with the chocolates... ?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Eh? Today is Valentines Day?" You cluelessly asked Kyoko who tilts her head to you.

"You forgot Name-chan?"

"Ahhhh hahaha... yes" You sheepishly rubbed the back of your head.

"Oh, it's okay then. We can still make some in the economics room. Come now before lunch ends."

"Okay~ Thanks Kyoko!" You happily followed her.

AT THE ROOFTOP

Tsuna looked at his watch. 15 minutes before lunch ends. He heaved a sigh, inwardly crying anime tears.

'I still hope Kyoko-chan will give me chocolates this year' He deeply thought.

"Jyuudaime! Are you okay?"

"What's wrong Tsuna?"

Gokudera and Yamamoto both asked him and he move his head side to side.

"It's nothing but thanks for asking" He smiled at them and though it doesn't really convinced them, they just let the subject drop.

END OF SCHOOL

Tsuna's shoulder drooped as he walked towards the gate of the school. Kyoko-chan forgot to give him chocolates or maybe she gave it to someone else? He immediately banished the thought as he heard voices calling for him.

"Tsuna, hey, wait!" Gokudera and Yamamoto were running towards him so he stopped until they reached him.

"Since it's Valentines today, I asked my father if we can celebrate in the shop and he agreed saying that we can eat all we want. I already invited Kyoko and Hana as well as Name-chan. They're only waiting for us." Yamamoto said and Tsuna was touched by his kindness. Even though Kyoko didn't give him any chocolates he still had friends that are always by his side.

He smiled at them and Gokudera and Yamamoto both returned it with bigger grins.

"Ushishishi~ Be grateful the prince is bringing you to this peasant restaurant" Bel throw his knives at his kouhai who merely plucked it off his hat.

"Ite, senpai, that hurts." Fran replied monotonously, "And if it's a peasant store then why are you going there? Ah, finally you realize that you're just a fallen prince. Took you so long Bel-senpai." He added his usual sarcastic remark. Before Bel could throw another one of his knives, someone interrupted.

"VOOOOOIIIIIII! Why are we here!?" Squalo asked—yelled at his subordinates who covered their ears from his loud voice.

"My, my, Squ-chan! If you're this loud then girls will avoid you!" Lussuria supplied out of nowhere, annoying the loud-mouth shark.

"VOOII! Who the heck cares about girls!? Training is my first priority!"

"Squalo if you don't stop talking now boss is going to kill you" Mammon tried to warn Squalo but the man didn't heard him over his shouting.

"-Girls will only make me weaker, vooiii! Don't you know-"

A glass wine came hurtling at his head.

"VVOOOOOIIIIII! What's your problem you, shitty boss!?And where did you get that glass!?" Squalo turned around and glared at their leader who returned the glower ten times worse.

"Shut up trash" Xanxus said, a fire starting to lit in his hands. Squalo immediately shut his mouth and resumed walking, a dark aura surrounding him.

Xanxus's scowl deepened as he flashback to why he's been here with his trashy subordinates.

Flashback:

"Scum, where's my steak!?" Xanxus asked one of the servants who almost piss from the intensity of his glare.

"I-I the supply had r-r-run out. We h-haven't been able to b-b-buy yet."

"That's great then boss!" Lussuria clapped his hands, "Since we're here anyways Bel is telling me about a wonderful store he has eaten to. Why don't we go there as Varia Bonding Time!"

"And why would I want to go there trash!?" Since Xanxus is a generous man, he gave Lussuria five seconds before threatening to burn him with his Flames of Wrath.

"U-uhhm well... OneofTsuna'sguardian' 'sachancewemaymeetthemandyoucankillthem!" Lussuria finished just at it hit 5 seconds and he breathe a sigh of relief.

Xanxus pondered on what he said since he said it so fast before a smirk came on his lips.

"Fine then trash."

End of Flashback

Xanxus stopped in his tracks as he remembered the business he came here to do. Of course, he won't let out the chance of threatening the Tenth Vongola Boss but since he's outside the mansion anyway, he decided to just finished it first before joining his subordinates in terrorizing Tsuna.

"You go first. I'm going to take care of something." He said and as usual Levi protested with his usual...

"Boss, I'm going to go with you."

"No need" Xanxus glared at him before going on his own destination.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Ah! I'm late again!" You complained as you run towards the sushi shop Yamamoto's father owned. Stupid carnivore chases after you after you gave him chocolates saying something about not wanting them but you ignored him anyway and ran, resulting in him chasing you to 'bite you to death'. Good thing you lost him.

You slid open the door to the shop to see the whole Vongola and Varia there with hands poised to attack. They stopped when they noticed you.

"Huh? Oh ignore me guys. Continue fighting." You entered and sit on one of the chairs, greeting Yamamoto's dad and getting a plate of sushi. They resumed fighting and you happily started to eat the food.

"Itadakimasu!" You said before digging in. Sparkles surrounded you and you thought you could hear angels singing for you.

"This is delicious!" You happily and excitedly asked for more and the owner is more than willing to give you as you ask.

After finishing about 10 plates, you halted in your movements as you realized something . Oh, yeah the chocolates.

"Oi guys!" You yelled and everyone aimed their attention to you albeit with different reactions. You searched in your bag and found the bag of chocolates.

"Tsuna! Gokudera! Yamamoto! Reborn! Squalo! Lussuria! Bel! Fran! Levi! Viper!"

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

You threw the chocolates in their faces while politely handed them to the girls.

"What was that for!?

"VOOOIIII! I'll slash you to pieces!"

"Shishishi~ The prince is going to kill you for throwing this to me"

"Ah, thank you Name-senpai"

"Hahaha! Thanks Name-chan"

You only answered with a wave of your hand to those reactions and stealthily nudges Kyoko in the side. You knew she was going to give chocolates for Tsuna and only Tsuna this year. She blushed and whispered 'Later' to you and you grinned in response.

You were happy, seeing all your friends fighting but there was someone missing. Someone you want to see right now even if you won't openly admit it to anyone. But he's not there and you feel as if the celebration is not complete.

"Hey! It's a wonderful night but I gotta go now. Bye!" After thanking Yamamoto's father as well as Yamamoto himself you went out the door and slid it close, not yet leaving but gazing at the stars.

"Oh well" You sighed, fingering the last chocolate on your bag before turning to the direction of your way home. As you move your body, your face came in contact with a hard wall and you backed away, holding your fortunately not injured nose.

"When is there a wall here?" You mindlessly asked yourself but froze when you see a pair of boots in front of you. You slowly trailed your eyes upwards showing black pants then white shirt with a black jacket then—

You blinked upon seeing Xanxus glaring at you and just at that moment, the moon escaped from the clutches of the clouds, illuminating Xanxus who looked like an angel at that moment. With his long black hair framing his face, the crimson orbs staring at you, straight nose, lips that you suddenly wondered how it will felt against your own...

WAIT! WAIT! SINCE WHEN DID YOU BECOME A PERVERT!? HECK YOU SOUND LIKE A CREEP! WHAT THE *&^* IS WRONG WITH YOU!? You panicked and tried to abolish those thoughts at once. Stupid Cupid playing with you like that. If you find him, you'll seriously kill him, you promised to yourself.

You cleared your thought, hoping that earlier thoughts about him didn't show on your face. With a glower of your own directed towards him, you stomped past him and with as much of dignity walked away.

17 steps

18 steps

19 steps

Hey you're doing pretty good, you cheered mentally.

20 steps

And then you feel someone pulling you to their chest. You gasped and in instinct elbowed that person in the ribs but they merely twisted your arms and took hold of it with one hand, pushing your body to them.

"Who are you?" You tried to sound brave but it failed when your voice quivered. Are you going to get raped? Killed? Images of your dead body found the next morning ran through your head and your body shivered uncontrollably, tears building up in your eyes.

And then...

"Where's my chocolate?"

You deadpan. You knew that voice.

Turning around in his hold you muster up all your anger in one single glare and aimed it towards him.

"XANXUS WHAT THE HELL!?" He winced at your loud tone but didn't break his physical contact with you.

"You scared me! And I thought it was a rapist or worse a killer! I'm already thinking about my dead body the next day only to find out that it's you! What? You want to kill me with fright? The hell is wrong with you!?" Your eyes prickled with tears from being scared too much and you looked away, not wanting him to see you so weak.

What? Others might call you a coward but you're really REALLY scared and thought that you're going to die. It's not a great feeling, knowing your doom and finding out later that it's just your friend—ahem, crush—pulling that on you. You're able to breath easily but the humiliation and shock—they're still with you increasing with every second passed with that person.

Xanxus averted his eyes, feeling heavy as time passes. For once he felt something akin to guilt tugging on his heart as he looked at you from the corner of his eyes. Your head was turned away from him but he could see crystal tears gathering in your eyes.

"Hn. Sorry." He mumbled, letting go of his pride JUST THIS ONCE but he still did not look at you.

Meanwhile you were shocked to hear such words coming from his mouth. Xanxus apologizing? And you thought hell would freeze over before that happens.

"I-it's okay" You whispered, making sure he heard it. Now you feel embarrassed, not daring to look at him also, as the butterflies continued dancing in your stomach.

Your grip tightened on the straps of your bag and you remembered just what the cause of all this. Man, if you only gave him the chocolates in the first place then he wouldn't have to scare you. Or maybe it wasn't his intention to frighten you, you were just easily scared.

Cue facepalm.

The tension was broken when you fumbled with the chocolate in your bag and forcefully pushed it against his hand.

"There your chocolate" You said, trying to look uncaring as possible, "Because today is Valentines Day and in Japan, girls give chocolates to their friends in that day." You obviously skipped the 'and lovers' part and the 'it's also a confession girls give to the guy they like' Yup, definitely skipped that part. No need to let him know that. You blushed at the thought and watched from the corner of your eye as he unwrapped the wrappings and took a bite.

He chewed for a moment before opening his mouth to comment. You didn't noticed how you were eagerly awaiting for his response as he said, "You made this with wine, did you not?"

Your eyes twitched. "Oh really? Does it taste like wine? I don't remember using anything like that" Okay you were going to play dumb at that comment.

Xanxus's lips tilted upwards in a smile. "Don't play stupid, woman" You especially made this for me, was left unsaid.

You sighed. Guess Xanxus sees through your acts now, right? Then better just be honest or at least you're going to make an exemption this day.

You looked up, finally meeting his smoldering gaze before softly smiling at him. "Whatever Xanxus. Happy Valentines Day."

Xanxus's heart skipped a beat when you looked at him like that and the way his name rolled off your lips as you greeted him. This woman is so annoying, making him love—like her even more. Soon, a pink dusting was on his cheeks as he cleared his throat to hopefully regain his composure back. Hopefully.

"Yeah... same to you too." He replied a bit awkwardly

"VOOIIIII! About time!" Squalo stupidly shouted as he swing his sword around the bush they were hiding in.

"Squalo! Boss will see you!~"Lussuria warned him but too late. Xanxus's anger escalated quicker than you can say 'Run' and flames immediately lighted in his hands.

"Die you scums!" And he all burned them with his Flames of Wrath.

OMAKE:

On the sideline, you watched in amusement as they all beg for help and you only laughed, holding your tummy while you hear their cries. Shaking your head in delight, you set to walk to your home when a chillingly, deep voice halted you.

"Where do you think you're going, Name"

Your eyes widened. He finally said your name aside from 'woman' and 'you'. But before you can ponder on that, you felt yourself being lifted bridal style and came face to face with Xanxus smirking face.

"I did not say we're finished yet."

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hoot! Hoot! What do you think is Xanxus going to do to you? Hahaha *wink* *wink* well I'll leave your own imagination for that ;)

Any thoughts for this chapter?

Reviews are very much appreciated :)))

PS: I know Xanxus is really OOC here, yeah hahaha xD
